It's kind of astonishing Spielberg actually moved the fax machine into his bedroom at Kubrick's insistence. Most people would've just said to someone who lives 5000 miles away, "yeah, I moved it to a secure room, fax away," while keeping it where it's always been.
Quite an honor that Spielberg was befriended so early in his career by such an icon, particularly after releasing such a dog as "1941". By 1980 Spielberg only had 2 great films, "Jaws" and "Close Encounters", and that is being generous to "Close Encounters".
Kubrick must had known they receiving the pages on fax machine in middle of the night... and he faxed the pages any way! Very smart of Spielberg that kept it in the friendship zone and never directed a movie for him. Yes Kubrick was a phenomenal director but evidently he did't give a damn about social conduct and boundaries.
I wonder if they discussed about cinema in their friendship, considering one is a great cinema director and the other a Dysney-style family director. Ok now I'm gonna watch the video...
Nothing Disnopia about Jaws or his first film with Dennis Weaver. Or his later work like Bridge of Spies, or Lincoln, or Catch Me If You Can, or War Of The Worlds, or Minority Report, or Schindler's List, or A.I.,or Munich.
The idea of Spielberg being put in the same sentence with Kubrick is preposterous. Spielberg never made a great movie in his life that I can think of. Its like putting Kiss in the same discussion with Led Zeppelin.
@@sclogse1 All good movies but not great movies. None of those belongs in the same category with 2001, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut, A Clockwork Orange. Spielberg is okay, but great? No way. Never left one of his movies in awe. Entertained, yes. Blown away, no.
@@lunar-studios He's the richest of all time and that's what he's good at, making box office hits for 14 year olds. His attempts at serious topics are always slightly laughable, like Munich and Bridge of Spies. Very vanilla director.

He was apparently incredibly persuasive and charming. You can see how he managed to make his actors and crew jump through so many hoops for him.
Nearly brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing this Mr. Spielberg.
Oh, puke.
This was special, thanks.

The master builder. Where is that from?
It was a name for Jesus.

At least he didn't refer to Kubrick as the master baker.
true friend to the end

Well, I mean Spielberg _did_ direct a movie for him, but posthumously of course.
Thank you🙏
How is that possible?
How is what possible?

Oh he was the master builder to you eh Steve? History going to look back at the Hollywood deviants in awe...

@@damonjones9606 People who talk like that need not be talked to.

Alright then, that's your opinion everyone else likes him
starting to sound like a hard sell. we get it, you were close to the guy damn near nobody was close to. good for you
No it doesn't. Steven has nothing to prove or jack up. Nichole called him, not you.
@@sclogse1 who the hell is Nichole
and that really doesn't bother me. Don't you have some clout to worship?
Kubrick carried on phone friendships with a lot of people.
